You Rule

My friend just surprised her husband with a family get away for his birthday. One rule: No cell phones. I think some rules were just made to be broken. For example, we all know (as a general rule), it is not a good idea to speak to strangers. I find people can’t wait to talk to me when I am …

Business or pleasure?

When I mention to people that I am going to be traveling, the first question I am asked is “business or pleasure”? My response is always “both”. I don’t think of my time that way. I never have. When I was younger, I was not the type to study in the library or even at a desk. I would study …

There is something about traveling and food that go together, well, like peanut butter and jelly. Sure, those family ski trips in Vermont were lots of fun, but what I remember most about them is stopping at the drive-thru for a soft serve …

What is a Pen Pal?

It has been a long time since I was in elementary school (talk about stating the obvious) but I still lovingly remember my sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Fisher. Mrs. Fisher always knew what to say to make me feel good. But what really stands out about her as a teacher is she did things differently than the other teachers. Our …

Picture Perfect

What’s better than seeing the world? I am definitely a VideoGlobetrotter – I experience the joy of travel daily through watching travel videos. It is such a …
